Apex Seals

So I'm thinking I may pick up some new Apex seals to replace the old 3 piece seals I have but I'm a little concerned on which Apex seals to pick up for the right money.

My application is a turbo charged 6PI that will see within the first few months of rebuild (after break in) 5-8psi. Eventually I'll push the car to more pressure but only to achieve 300~hp and that will not be until I have enough to rebuild, or build a new engine from scratch to drop in off the bat.

As of right now I'm thinking of just picking up the regular Atkins seals but I'd like some opinions:

Would it be anymore beneficial if I pick up the cryogenically treated Atkins seals?

What about the one piece racing seals that Atkins sell?

What about the RA seals?

The RA super seals?

I'm not planning on running tons of boost pressure on a high compression ratio while in school, but I would like to have a reliable car that can handle tuning and still be okay to drive for quite some time. Any suggestions?
